Now I've spent time down here before handling Jets coverage, but it amazes me every time I come back just how crazy the driving is, and we're not even talking in the city here. I'm guessing the law down here is that you have to honk your horn once every half mile or so and you can never be more than five feet behind the bumper of the car in front of you.

The other thing I've always wondered about this area is how did they go about create the towns. Every half mile or so you're in a different town. The Jets training facility is on the campus of Hofstra University which is in Hempstead. The hotel where I stay is less than 5 miles away and yet I drive through like 4 towns to get there. Nassau County Coliseum is literally across the street from Hofstra, but it's not in Hempstead.

OK, enough of my rant about Long Island. By the way, I couldn't find Jarrell Miller anywhere down here. Guess he's not going to Hofstra.

I figured I needed to make an appearance, it's been a while since I've been around.

"I really like Nick Saban," Mangini said. "I respect him. That's how I feel. I have a high regard for him as both a person and a coach. It was great when I interviewed down there with him, I got to spend some time with him and his wife. I wish him nothing but the best."

Said Belichick: "I'm sure he has good reasons for it. He's a good coach. He's a good friend. He's a smart guy. I'm sure whatever the situation is, he has a good reason for what he did."
